Strawberries After Cornstalks.
As many farmera have (and all ought to
have) a bed of strawberries, and the crop
next year depends largely on the way the
plants are mulched for the coming winter,
1 will tell what I consider the best mulch'
the farmer can use, and it can be had on
every farm, as it is fodder waste, says
Waldo F. Brown in New York Tribune.
Begin in September or Ootober to feed your
horses on corn fodder out to foot lengths,
or shorter, and then bed them with the
waste, using no other bedding. Do not
clean the stalls daily, but keep forking it
tinder them, and let it accumulate until the
stalks are trampled flat and wet with urine
and mixed with twine. It will improve it
if you can store it in a roomy shed and
keep an animal loose on it until you are
ready to use it. Managed in thie way, the
cornstalks will contain a considerable
amount of fertilizing matter, which the
•winter rains will wash down to the plants
to give them a good start in the spring;
there will be no seed of any kind in it to
trouble the following season; the mulch
will be light and will not smother the
plante, and it will be ilat and will lie close
to the ground, so that it will not blow off.
I think it tbe best of all mulch for this
purpose, and if cut short, as I recommend,
it is easy to handle. This mulch should be
applied the first time the ground freezes
enough to bear the waggon.

A. LOVER'S TRIALS.
His Scheme to Circumvent a Stern Parent
Lands Rim in &he.
A Blanchester, N.H., despatch says; A
broad daylight roneanoe, of which the end
is not yet, occurred at the railway etation
here to -day. Fred. Smith is a fine-looking
and respeotable young French-Canadian
employed in the dye house of the Manch'es-
ter corporation. Delia Doyen oame here
from Ottawa to visit, and here she met
eoung Smith, and her fresh, peaohy cheeks,
brown eyes, ripe -red lips and divine form
wrought havoo in Fred's susceptible heart.
Nor was he led attractive to Delia, and as
the inevitable result they were " cried" in
St. Augustine Church on Sanday, and the
wedding was set for this morning in that
edifice. But the happy plans were destined
to be rudely shattered. Upon the express
train from Montreal yesterday 05Me an
angry father. He sought out his daughter
and declared to her that sloe must not
marry that man, and, finding her per.
sistent in her design so to do, declared that
she must at once return home. Smith
was thunderstruck at the turn of ,
affairs, and secured an interview with
the parent, who proved to be made
of the most flinty materiel. In vain did
Smith point ortt the fact that he loved the
girl and the girl loved him, and that ib
would cause both of them shamenennoyiencto
and heartsokie to have the match postponed,
also that it would only be a mutation of time
when he would have her, as they would be
true to eaoh other, and he would marry her
anyway. Persuasion, entreaty, and argu-
ment all failing,the young man tried strata-)
gem. He attempted to secure an interview
with the girl, and failing in this arranged
with friends to plan a flight and marriage
this morning, but every attecapt in this line
was defeated. The father permitted no one
to speak to his daughter, and kept her
steadily with him all clay yesterday and all
night. Smith determined to see her before
she left, if only for a moment, so he col-
lected some Jifty young friends, who, when
the girl appeared in the station, were to
jostle the old gentleman aside,eeparate him
from hie daughter, and persuade her
to leap into a carriage to le in readi-
ness, and dash away for liberty. The
plan failed through the overzeolonenese
of hie adherents, for no sooner had Mr.
Doyen appeared in the station to take
the express hack to Montreal than the
mob made a rush for him with clubs and
knives, shouting "Hang him. In the ex-
citement a rope was brought and flung
over the old man's head. His daughter had
a chance to fly, but Geeing her father in

Repairing Trees 'dared by Mice.
Young trees aro injured more or less in
the winter time by being girdled by mice
and rabbits, esphoially young apple trees.
The best thing is to prevent any such in-
jury by adopting some protective methods
early in the fall, but if the trees have be.
come girdled it is well to apply some
nemedy at once, says J. D. Morrow in the
Practical .Fanner. As a rule fruit trees are
not injured as much by these pests as they
appear to be at first. Unless the inner
bark is gnawed away they will recover if
properly treated. The best thing is to apply
to such wounds/a stiff plaster made of etiff
clay and cow manure, with a little water
added if necessary. This should be held in
phew, and completely covered by a band of
old bagging or some other coarse fabric,.
The chief objeot of this is to keep the whole
moist while nature heals the wound. If
the weather is very dry, wet the bandage
occasionally. The wound will 'naturally
reduce the supply of sap in the tree, and it
is sometimes advisable to cut back the
branches of the tree. 'Unless the tree is
very severely wounded it will soon recover
from such injuries by the treatment given,
but if it refuses to respond readily it is
better to replace it by another of the same
size and age. Very few trees so far have
been injured by the mice or rabbits, for the
winter has been so free and open that they
have found enough green food without re-
sorting to tree bark. It is only when other
food is scarce that they eat the bark.
Too Deep Plowing.
The natural tendency of the plow in
early spring is to go in too deeply, and
turn up soil only partially leavened and
lightened by air and warmth, says "Ameri-
oan Cultivator." When the frost is first
out of the ground the soil is moist, and it
is coder to plow eight or nine inches deep
than to a depth of six or seven 'Lichee
later in the season, when drought end the
abstraction of moisture by plant roots have
hardened it. Every farmer knows that
plow points dulled se as to be pest neing in
the fall will do good work on either atubble
Or eod the next spring. But, as a rule,
stubble ground, if for spring grain, coareely
needs the plow. It may be oultivated over
to a depth of two to three iodhee, and in
most seesaw; will thus britig a bettor orp
of oats or barley than by deeper plowing.
Where spring wheat is mainly grown, the
only sure mimes is found by plowingin
the fall and alightly cattle:sting or dragging
the surface in spring sufficiently to barely
oover the seed. It is usually said that thie
is done to get the grain it earlier. We
think that part ot the benefit of the prate

instance, at least, can be adduced to prove

not been altogether unfounded. A Hindu
barrister -at -law is respondent for the fol.
lowing misleading'statement, professedly a,
reply to a statement that if the Congress -
Wallahs became successful, the Mahome-
dans would be swamped by the Hindus:
" The so.nanointalked.of antagonism be-
tween Hindus and Mahentedens exists in
the brains of our critics only; those who know
anything of India know that Hindus and
illehomedans are, for all .practical pur.
poses, one nation; leaving religion aside,
in everythieg else—in social customs and
manners, in intellectual tastes and pur-
suits—there ici hardly any material differ-
ence between the two; and if, as a French
philoeopher stem the sentiment of nation-
ality is lamed upon common oblivions and
conamon recollections, then, indeed, it may
be asserted, that Hindus and Blaktome-
dans have nearly forgotten the bitter
fends of past times." That all this is
untrue is just w at is known by those who
know something about India. It is all
very well to talk of a sentinaent of, common
nationality based upon feelings of amity
and tolerance; that English education is a
nationalizing force may be accepted as
true ;• but as matters stand at present,
there are only too obvious signs of antagon-
ism between Hindus and Mahomedans and
of divergenoies in social customs and man-
ners, as well as in intellectual pursuits. In
dee some doubts should lingerin the minds
of any of our readere, we may make a few
remarks to substantiate the datement we
have made
Our Indian Army is composite, the men
being drawn from various nationalities and
deeds. The Pathan, the Rajprit, the Brah-
man, the Mahomedan, the Pariah and
others are in the same ranks, and stand
shoulder to shoulder on the parade ground,
while on the march, and when engaged in
aotion. The animosity of caste and creed

become extinct. It would also appear that
among these races there is an identity of
interests and pursuits. Yet thin appears
to be the case only so loin as the races are
constrained by the stern hand of discipline
to act as a united body. The sepoy loves
his pay and submits without a murmur to
the command of his superiors, so long as
they leave his caste free from interference.
If one thing more than another is needed to

ligions into one " nation " having common

muter, and, in times of war, in
the sharing of common danger.
The last two conditions may seem
powerful enough to coalesoe races and bo -
make different peoples forget their jarring
interests, °reeds and other traditionary
antipatlaies. Yet in the Indian army the
eameness, the onenees, of interests and
feelings extends only while the men are on
duty. When they are no longer under
discipline, the sight is worth seeing by a.
visionary, who dreams that Hindus and
Mahomedans have practically beoome one
nation. The eodal manners and customs
of the races are different. _Out of the
parade ground, the Hindu shuns his
Mahomedan comrade, no less than the lat-
ter shuns the former. Each goes apart,
each cooks for himself and each associates
with his oastemen. The Mahomedan will
not admit the Hindu into his house, lest
the profane gaze of the latter sbould defile
the sanctity of the &mane. Nor will the
Hindu admit the Mahomedan into
his house, lest the unsanotified
presence of the (tasteless should
render his domioile unholy, and
his domestio utensils unclean. If there is

This, it might be thought,would act power-
fully to fuse party with party, and to
bring shout a new or united nation. But
here, too, castes and oreeds still assert
their sway. They may be undermined,
but they are still far from fallina. The
vernacular of oettain classes of Hindus,
both in the Ninth and in the South, is
Hindustani. Again, certain classes of
Mehomecians speak some one of the
languages of the Hindus. Yet the Hindus
continue Hindus, the Mahomedans are
still Blahomedans, in thought, in feeling, in
prejudice. and much more in religion.—

In is recent address delivered by Mr. S.
W. North, medical officer of health to the
city of York, to the National Association
of Sanitary Inspectors, the subject chosen
was the "Milk Trade as Affecting Public
Health." The various diseases which have
been communicated to man through the
agency of milk were considered; but special
stress was laid upon the question of the
prodnotion of human tubercle as the result
of the ingestion of the milk of tnberonlons
cows. It was contended that the same
defective hygienic conditions which favor
the development of this disease ia man alto
favor its production in animals. Thus,
deficient light and air, dampness of tends,
overorowding, imported ventilation, bad
and insufficnent food, and filthy surround-
ings were set forth as the conditions tent-
ing to lower health, to impair nutrition,
andto increase susceptibility to tuberculosis
both in man and in the cow; and all dairy
farmers, as well as those responsible for
the administration of dairiee, would do well
to give heed to the warning which these
fads oonvey. Among the remedies which
Mr. North would suggest are is careful and
systematic inapection o idairies and cattle
by competent persons, and the require.
ments that all who sell milk within the
area of a sanitary !Authority ohould possess
a special license granted by that authority,
and cap:this of being withdraw o or sns-
pended whenever euffident reason exists
for snob action. It was further proposed
that every producer and vendor of .milk
should be bound to report to such sanitary
authority the onourertme of any disease
amongst the cattle, or the persons of his
household, or arnonget those engaged in the
preparation or distribution, of the milk.
Such an address cannot fail to lead to a
more careful and intelligent performance of
some of the more important duties devolv-
ing on sanitary inspeotors.—Lancet.

The Bodice is tbe Thing.
In the present fashions the bodice be.
comes the distinctive point for ornament.
The New York Tribune says: In all gowns
the high and rather full sleeve is intro -
duped, and is generally in contrasting
material to the rest of tbe bodice, though
in simple gowns of cheviot it usually
matches the skirt. In combination
dresses of cashmere and silk the bodioe is
usually of silk and the sleeve of cashmere
and silk.
There is a tendency, as there has been
for Donee time, to iit a bodice of some
striped goods to the figure plainly and
drape it acrose one side diagonally with
plain wool or silk. The outlines of the
figure are thrown in strong relief by the
drapery, and it appears slighter. The
large sleeves are heightened by a tiny
pad when they are made of soft materials
which could not be held in place with.
out support. Velvet itt used on cheviot
gowne for cuffs and collars, and on challise
and other house -gowns trimmed with

That's the Way Sometimes.
The railroad oar window is probably re-
sponsible for as much profanity as the
hammer and the nail. Who is there who
has not tackled one of these obdurate in-
stitutions? On a train Saturday a woman
made a fruitless little effort to raise the
window. A. gentleman from across the
aisle immediately offered his services. He
grabbed the °etch and with a confident air
started to put the window right up without
any fuse. A look of surprise came over
his face as the window didn't badge. Then
he got mad, and bracing his knees against
the seat tugged away for life. But the
window stayed right there. He wriggled
and writhed and slipped off the eee,t until
his face was carmine and greet globules of
perspiration steed upon his manatee brow.
The passengers locked thoughtful and con-
siderate. The window would not budge
and with a smile and apology, but with
writhing volcano of words suppressed, he
gave it up. Jed here a little puny indi-
vidual stepped from a corner seat, rapped
lightly on the bottom of the window frame
and pushed up the slide with is triumphant
look, and quietly hieing his seat started his
newapsper again.—Buditio Courier.
